The Original Purple Quiz

It’s Original and it’s Purple! (erm… and it’s a quiz.)

The OPQ (original purple quiz) is made up of 40 questions, divided into eight subject rounds with five questions in each, plus a picture round.

It’s supplied with twenty two-part NCR (no carbon required) answer sheets, so teams can hand in one copy before marking their own answers. If you only need ten answer sheets instead of twenty, and you want to help save wastage, just let us know and we’ll send you the exact number you need. There is also the option of having plain paper answer sheets instead of NCR, so that teams can swap sheets for marking. If you would prefer this, please make a note on your order form.
